The variety of Christmas songs and carols provides a fertile ground for fingerstyle guitarists. At the same time, the familiarity of these tunes requires the guitarist to explore creative approaches in order to bring new textures and meanings to these timeless melodies. Employing various tunings, unusual chord voicings, counterpoint lines, alternating bass and arpeggio techniques, El McMeen explains his arrangements of Christmas favorites, ranging from the sprightly Jingle Bells and Bring A Torch Jeannette Isabella, through a tender version of Away In A Manger, to evocative arrangements of We Three Kings and other songs. Three guitar tunings are explored: standard, DADGAD and CGDGAD. Titles include: Away In A Manger, We Three Kings, Angels We Have Heard On High, Bring A Torch Jeannette Isabella, Jingle Bells, A 'Soaling and We Wish You A Merry Christmas. 69 minutes / Level 2-3. A detailed tab/music booklet is included as a PDF file on the DVD. Now Available:

I think that every household should have a buffalo horn. We are now the proud owners of a fine horn which we obtained from Lark in the morning. It will be handy for calling in the children from play, and signaling to the neighbors across the river.
This chieftain ain’t bad. I would say situated in between intermediate and professional grade. A little bit thick but not too thick. I’m happy with this purchase
The skins are as beautiful as can be expected. I'll be using them for canvas in an art project in 2026. I'll be a returning customer.
I bought this 30 inch frame drum about 3 years ago (2022 I think) for use in drum circles and also for recording. It’s incredible! I wanted a drum that people could not just hear, but also feel. This one fulfills that promise very powerfully, so I call it the Boneshaker. I’ve gotten a ton of compliments about it at drum circles. It helps to hold the rhythm together very well. By playing the drum harmonics, I can find at least 3 tones to it, more depending on how I tune it. I’ve had dozens of drums and over a hundred percussion instruments over the years, but this is in the top 1% of my all time favorites. I even painted the head and it’s beautiful! Everyone at the drum circles loves it.
I bought this bodhran after I broke my more decorative one while protesting. I’m one of four women who are Drumming for Democracy every week at our local Saturday protest.
